I think that it indeed is stupid for blizzard to not reset mmr, yet i have no understanding why they would change that in the last second, why would they not reset mmr? anyone whom got any ideas about it to maybe clear it up and all?

Exactly how I feel about this. This is utter crap and the mmr system needs a revamp. While newcomers are working their asses off to get even close to 2000 high mmr players do 20 matches and are already glads. This is stupid in all ways and has to change.

yeah we are doing 3s at the moment as LSDv2. All new characters, so starting out at 1500 MMR. We are 25-9 and we are only 1964 rated playing on 2069 MMR.
If we had started at 2k or higher MMR we'd be 2400+ MMR and already 2.2k rated.

the teams from last season just do 20 games and are 2.2k + easily. so stupid from blizzard. it's the ultimate cock-block to getting geared / better in arena.

Makes me glad I didn't yet purchase MoP and probably won't. Stuff like this and how terrible PvP balance is atm shows Blizzard is just not a very good game maker any longer. With the flop that is D3 and now how horrible MoP expansion is for PvP makes me sad because I have been an avid Blizzard fan since Warcraft 2 hit the shelves.

No MMR reset coupled with the lack of rating decay continues to make Arena suffer greatly. Reach glad or rank 1, camp for 6 months and then play the last 2 weeks if you need to for titles.
